GROWTH OF A BIG Book. When Web
ster,s Unabridged was first published in
one volume, it was comparatively
small book. Some years after an adj
dition was made of 1900 Pictorial Illus
trations, a Table Of aynonyms, and an
Appendix of New Words that had come
into use. A few years later came amen
tirely new revised edition Of larger size,
with 5000 Pictorial Illustrations, then,
after interval ola few years, a Biograph
ical Dictionary of nearly 10000 Names
and a Supplement of nearly 5000 New
Words were added, and there has come
a new and most valuable addition, A
Gazetteer of the World, of over $4,000
Titles. The work is now not only the
Dictionary, par excellence, but a Bio
graphical Dictionary, a Gazetteer ofthe
World, and great many other good
things in its many valuable Tables.

IF the annual report of the
United States Commissioner
Of Education IN regard to the
progress of education in the
South has any interest for the
Southern people at large, it
should arouse them to a sense
of their DEFICIENCIES as compar-
ed with their fellow-country-
men in other sections. It is
stated that in Virginia there
are 1000 districts destitute of
school houses, and in North
Carolina 1900 more. Now
that capital and energy are
developing the resources Of
the South, it is high time that
popular education should re-
ceive attention and be made
to keep pace with commercial
progress.

A Bloody Christmas Celebration.

A lot of Hibernia miners celebrated
Christmas (Monday) so hilariously thai
that they wound up in serious fight, in
which several were hurt, one so badly
that he is not expected to live. 1t ap.
pears that feud exists between the
Slavic miners, of which there are quite a
number, and another class, and when the
men get drunk this feud comes promin-
emily to the surface. Mondays drunk was
more general and elaborate than usual and
the consequent fight the more severe and
bloody Minor quarrels made up the
entertainment OF the day, until about the
middle of the afternoon the matter cul-
minated in general all-round fight in
which about thirty miners Infatuated
with bad whiskey participated. Clubs,
stones and knives figured in the fray,
and Constable Waer, the only officer In
the place, telephoned for assistance from
Dover, but Dover could not spare any
officers and therefore sent none.
Andrew Magyour was stabbed in the
left side and in the head. The first
wound is an ugly one and the physician
entertains serious doubts of his recovery
Magyour charges his wounds upon John
Sutack. John Magyour, brother of
the wounded man, and Michael Pasceley
were both badly carved with knives, but
are not seriously wounded.
Justice Gage and Constable Young, of
Dover, went up on Tuesday morning
and arrested Michael Sutack, who is
now in Jail. Warrants are out for others
who will be arrested in due time.

wH1PpANY. Dec. 29th, 1887

wHIpPANY, Dec goth, 1887.
Ed. CHRONICLE:
The feast of Christmas was very gen
orally enjoyed by all our citizens. There
were quite a number Of visitors in our
village, visiting friends and relatives.
On Tuesday evening last it was our
good fortune to witness one OF the finest
Sunday school entertainments it has been
cur lot to be presentat. 1t took place in
the Methodist Church. The programme
consisting of singing, Rotations. read
| ings and dialogues was very creditably
carried out by those taking part. Where
each and every one did so well, it would
be unfair to mention this or that one
therefore we refrain from particularizing
1t is needless to say that the church was
crowded.
Last evening (Dec. 2S), large and APP
preciative audience greeted the children
of the Monroe Sunday School. Here, as
at the Whippany Methodist Church, the
children did themselves great credit.
After the exercises the children treated
their numerous friends to hot coffee, lem
onade, sandwiches, cake and other deli
cacies.
| This evening the "Alaska Mission
Bandp held dime sociable at the resi-
dence of Mr.. David Perrine ard a very
ENJOYABLE time was had.
Let US wish you. dear Editor, a ha ppy
and prosperous New Year.

Christmas at the Redeemer Church

The Christmas service at the Church of
the Redeemer was unusually impressive
this year, the music being of very high
order The regular quartette choir is
composed of Mr. H. R. Holcombe. of N.
Y, tenor; Mrs. L. W...Holcombe, Mil
burn. soprano; Miss Celia McVay, of
Morristown, alto; Mr.. E. G. Martin, of
Morristown, bass, and c. Aug. Muir, ESQ.,.
organist. The quartette was augmented
upon this occasion by the additional
voices of Miss Gillen, Miss Easton and
Harry Genung. The Redeemer choir en-
joys an enviable reputation that is well
deserved, and each member is soloist of
no mean order; and where each is so ex-
cellent in his or her part it might seem
unfair to discriminate. Yet, upon this
occasion, Mr.. Martin fairly outdid him
self and won the honors by common con-
sent, with Miss McVay a good second.

dozen bottles to the loving embrace OF

that the new water works are in opera

take their water straight, and untainted

ST. MARY's CHURCH.
Golden candelabra and profusion of
flowers and rare plants. with ivy inter-
mingled, adorned the altar of st. Mary's

ranged among the decorations and high
above the altar, ON an evergreen arch,
shone the legend, "Glory to God in the
Highest" Crowns and wreaths of holly
and evergreen decorated the auditorium
throughout, and the whole effect of this
Christmas dress was charmingly beautiful.
AT the 1890 service grand High Mass was
celebrated by the Rev. Father Farrell, as
sisted by Revs. Father Flynn and Wood
man. Rev. Clarence E. Woodman, G. S.
P. preached from the text, g You shall

formed by the smaller ones, was life size

stable al Bethlehem.
SPRING STREET A. M. e. SCHOOL.
Here the Christmas festivities were held
on Wednesday evening. A handsomely

the scene, and the little ones thought their
ship had come in sure enough. They
all received presents, both scholars and
teachers, and good social time was en-
joyed by all present. There was singing
and social intercourse, and right good
and profitable time was the result.
